No arguing with that photo.

The black sideview mirrors sure look out of place.

Funny thing is you cant order a Red R, That color is not listed in the order forms I have seen.

Maybe the order form is messed up, looks as if maybe red would have no strips, or yellow will have black strips but you cannot get yellow without strips?

So the chassis "TT" is likely to stir the pot...I'm staying out of that one.

The tire is 305/35 which is a non R rear.

Is that an open, yellow hood? possibly this is not the red car we've seen previously?

Thanks Lethal for posting!

And yet people are saying the GT350 is not an SVT vehicle... It's etched right there in the sill plate, SPECIAL VEHICLE TEAM.

Its just pre production. It could easily say Powered by Ford or Ford Performance Division or something along those lines. 50/50

What's interesting is that the car shown in LA didn't have SVT on the sill plate and it was removed from the STB. Doesn't make sense...

Honestly does it matter what the door still plate says? It matters who designed the car. Was it SVT, Shelby, the same team that designed the mustang, or someone else.

At this point, who ever designed the GT350 and R did a good job. Only tests will tell if they did a great job.

What is interesting is watching the tug of war being played with the SVT nameplate. You're right, regardless of what group of individuals claims responsibility for the car, it looks to be a great effort.
